Dungeons & Dragons Overview
Join your friends on a Dungeons & Dragons adventure.
The role-playing game (RPG) Dungeons & Dragons is a story-telling game set in a world of swords and sorcery.
Your imagination is the driving force behind the story. This world holds endless possibilities.
How to Play D&D
1. The Dungeon Master describes the scene.
The Dungeon Master tells players where their characters are and what's around them, and presents basic choices for each player (such as how many doors lead out of a room, what's on a table, who's in an inn, etc.).
2. Players decide what to do.
Sometimes one player speaks for the entire party, but often each player can take different actions, such as one player trying to unlock a door while another checks the wall for secret passages. While players don't necessarily have to take turns saying "I/what I will do," the Dungeon Master listens to all players and decides how these actions will be resolved. 3. The Dungeon Master (and Players) Announce Achievements. Task resolution is simple: If an adventurer wants to open a door across a room, the Dungeon Master simply says "The door opens" and describes what's on the other side. However, there are situations where the adventurer finds it difficult to complete the task, such as a locked door or a deadly trap hidden in the floor. In those cases, the Dungeon Master decides what happens. Often, what happens next depends on the results of a dice roll. This process repeats throughout all gameplay decisions. In certain situations (especially combat), actions are more structured, with players (and the Dungeon Master) taking turns choosing the next action to resolve. For the most part, however, gameplay is fluid and evolves based on the adventure's circumstances. During combat, Dungeon Masters can prompt players to announce attacks and finishing blows, further immersing the player in the game.
